Magnetic Resonance Scanning - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520362 titled 'Magnetic Resonance Scanning
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a magnetic resonance scanning method that automatically detects the positions of characteristic points and sites of interest in a human body, calculates the scan parameters, and performs the scan accordingly.
- Detecting positions of characteristic points and sites of interest in a human body
- Calculating scan start position and total scan range based on detected positions
- Performing the magnetic resonance scan automatically
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in medical imaging for more accurate and efficient scans of the human body.
Problems Solved
1. Improved accuracy in detecting specific points and sites of interest in the body 2. Automation of the scanning process reduces human error and variability
Benefits
1. Faster and more precise magnetic resonance scans 2. Enhanced patient comfort and experience during imaging procedures
Potential Commercial Applications
Automated magnetic resonance scanning technology can be utilized in hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers for diagnostic purposes, potentially improving workflow efficiency and patient outcomes.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of automated scanning techniques in other imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) scans or ultrasound imaging.
What are the potential limitations of this technology in real-world applications?
The technology may face challenges in adapting to different body types and conditions, potentially leading to inaccuracies in detecting characteristic points and sites of interest.
How does this technology compare to existing manual scanning methods in terms of accuracy and efficiency?
This technology offers the advantage of automation, which can lead to increased accuracy and efficiency compared to manual scanning methods that rely on human input and interpretation.
Original Abstract Submitted
A magnetic resonance scanning method including: detecting the positions of individual characteristic points of interest and the positions and sizes of individual sites of interest of a target human body in the current MR scan; calculating a scan start position and a total scan range of the current MR scan according to the detected positions of the individual characteristic points of interest and the positions and sizes of the individual sites of interest of the target human body; and performing the current MR scan according to the calculated scan start position and total scan range of the MR scan. In an aspect, the scanning method is fully automatic.
